TALENTED students from Rainham Mark Grammar School have won a top business prize - for running a talent show. Destrier beat off seven rivals to become best Young Enterprise company in Medway.

Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress Councillor Adam Price and Mrs Eileen Bentley presented prizes at the final in BAE Systems, Rochester. It was organised by Toni Clarke of the Medway Education Business Partnership.

The company made photo frames and bags, and ran a talent show at the school attended by more than 250 people. Destrier, led by managing director Matt Gorman - Kent's Young Enterprise Speaker of the Year - also exhibited at Rochester Trade Fair and impressed judges at the area final with their stand.

The company also gave £150 to charity and Young Enterprise. It now goes through to the county final on May 9 in The Salomon Centre, Tunbridge Wells.

Vortex, from Chatham Grammar School for Boys, won a prize for the best presentation. Sarah Pain and Sarah Donnelly, from Ablaze, a company set up to make T-shirts and decorative pebbles at Fort Pitt Grammar School, deservedly earned warm applause for their funny, well-crafted presentation.

Young Enterprise achievers of the year were Ria Edmonds (Vortex); Louise Dainesi of All the Way, Chatham Grammar School for Girls; Carl Boulding of Intamission, Chatham South; Helen Reed of Ablaze, Fort Pitt Grammar School; Steven Morley of Hoo's Best, Hundred of Hoo Comprehensive School; Matt Gorman of Destrier; Katy Strevens, of Elysium Enterprises and David Prentice of Success Enterprises, both from Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School.

The judges were Gillingham MP Paul Clark, Ian Robinson, former chief executive of Kent Reliance Building Society, and Bernard Swift of Chatham Rotary.
